The real effects of global warming

When we talk about saving energy and reducing our waste it’s all for a larger goal – a global goal. Sure, a reduction in our energy and gas bills are great and so too is less waste, but what we are really striving towards is a global reduction in energy use.

Less energy, less water, less waste and less ‘stuff’! The more we can save individually the more we can reduce globally.

Recent evidence on the effects of global warming in the Great Barrier Reef is absolutely devastating. Coral bleaching is now wide spread and it’s likelihood of rejuvenation is slim. Check out this short clip to see for yourself just what is happening in this beautiful part of the world. How can we let this happen?

Studies suggest the two degree temperature increase likely to be felt across the planet will not be spread evenly. Some countries will feel hotter than two degrees and others will experience wetter conditions. The effects of global warming is far more damaging than it seems and it’s not years away – it’s happening now. Read more on this here.
